This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who is passionate about supporting children and young people, particularly those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), and who is keen to develop professionally within a highly nurturing environment.
At KTS, every role matters. As a Teaching Assistant, you will play a vital part in helping our pupils to succeed, working closely with experienced teachers and a dedicated staff team.

We are looking for individuals who:
- Have strong literacy and numeracy skills
- Are resilient, positive, and adaptable in a dynamic school environment
- Are committed to supporting pupils with a range of additional needs
- Have a willingness to learn and develop professionally
- Previous experience working with children or adults with SEND is desirable, but not essential — we value the right attitude, commitment, and willingness to learn.
What We Offer
At KTS Academy, we are proud of the supportive and ambitious environment we have created for both pupils and staff. We offer:
- A truly pupil-centred setting, where every decision is made with children at heart of it
- A highly supportive and collaborative staff team who go above and beyond for one another
- High-quality CPD and internal career development opportunities, helping you grow and progress
- A strong commitment to staff wellbeing, including access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
- Local Government Pension Scheme
- Generous school holidays – up to 13 weeks per year
Why Join KTS?
KTS Academy is a place where you will be valued, supported, and encouraged to develop your skills. Whether you are experienced in SEND or looking to begin or further your career in education, we will invest in you and provide opportunities to work across the Academy to broaden your experience.
If you are passionate about making a difference and want to be part of a team that is committed to achieving the very best outcomes for pupils, we would love to hear from you.
